The high-tariff element among the

Rebel-fag issue to look after, be APP

invited to New York. where the party
has just shown that it has too many
votes. There is now one Republican
Congressman from the city of New
York, MIR. Ashbel p. Fitch, but this is
one too many when Mr.. Fitch declares
that this is his platform: Il am in favor
of revision of the tariff and made my

Some affect to believe that nervous

but that is no excuse for denying their
existence. Besides, it is natural to
exaggerate grievance 80 long as it
remains unrecognized. Others admit
the reality of tho diseased sensations,
but maintain that the only way 10
abolish them is by means of reason.
They hold that nervous persons ought
TO be taught to control their nerves
by their reason. and they in
sist that ''plain speaking" is
the strongest aid % recovery.
Their experience seems o corrobora ate
this opinion. The sufferers cease to
complain to them. SO they fancy that
their plain speaking" has effected n
cure. This fancy ~. however. very
far from the fact, which is that the
patients have transferred their COM
plants to n more sympathetic ear. 1t
Is not easy eTen for healthy persons to

A Fourth of July illumination
Seen so Miles I'm One Direction
and rs In Another.
The SENTINEL . few days ago published
an item which stated that Portland,
Oregon, had the finest display Of fire
works Of any city on the Coast on
the Fourth OF July. The following, which
we find in an exchange, indicates that
the people OF that State do not believe In
doing things by halves. The project was
successfully carried out and the feat is
unprecedented In the way Of q pyrotech-
mic display:
II was the illumination Of the summit
OF Mount Hood, the tallest snow.covered
peak in Oregon, 10, 100 feet high. This
wal done on the night of the 4th at 11:3O,
and the light was plainly seen in Portland,
q distance OK 81 miles In a straight line.
The Illuminating agent was 100 pounds OF
ordinary red fire. The task was accom-
plished by William G.. Steel, q local ex-
plorer OF some note, assisted by Nelson
w. Durham, of the Oregonian, and five
others.
The party left Portland on the morning
OF the LIST instant and camped Saturday
night at the NOV line. From there to
the summit the journey was made on foot
over soft snow in some places and hard
ice in others, where steps had 10 be cut
with hatchets, and two dangerous cre-
vases crossed. Besides. five Of the party
had to carry 20 pounds Of red fire each,
In addition to their blankets. The ar
rangement when they left was for two Of
the party to remain on the summit ell
night in order to touch off the fire.. It
was the first time that q human being ever
spent a night on the summit Of that
mountain. The illumination was also
seen in Eastern Oregon, at . distance Of rs

OF the SPECTATOR has been removed from

be regarded in the light Of Q boycott
